Directions
Suspend 36 grams in 1000 ml distilled water. For double strength broth use 72 grams in 1000 ml distilled water. Heat if necessary to dissolve the medium completely. Dispense in tubes and sterilize by autoclaving at 15 lbs pressure (121°C) for 15 minutes.
Warning: Sodium azide has a tendency to form explosive metal azides with plumbing materials. It is advisable to use enough water to flush off the disposables.
Principle and Interpretation
SF HiVeg Broth is prepared by using HiVeg hydrolysate in place of Casein enzymic hydrolysate which makes the medium free of BSE/TSE risks. SF HiVeg Broth is the modification of SF Broth which was prepared according to the formula of Hajna and Perry (1) for the detection of faecal Streptococci in swimming pools, water and milk samples. Enterococci [Streptococci] grow luxuriantly at 45.5°C with an acidic reaction, seen as colour change from purple to yellow.
HiVeg hydrolysate provides essential growth nutrients. Dextrose is the fermentable carbohydrate. Group D Streptococci grows in the presence of azide and ferments glucose. This produces acid & thus due to pH drop, colour of the media changes from purple to yellow. Bromo cresol purple is the pH indicator. Phosphates buffer the medium while sodium chloride maintains osmotic equilibrium. Sodium azide exhibits a bacteriostatic effect on gram-negative bacteria through its inhibitory action on enzymes in the electron transport system.
